Harry and Meghan have appeared in public together in the UK for the first time since they announced they would quit royal duties and make a new life in Canada.
The pair turned out for an awards ceremony in London for the first of their final series of royal engagements.
Harry held an umbrella over his wife as a crowd of about 50 cheered them in the rain, although one person loudly booed the pair.
Their decision to step back from royal duties takes effect from 31 March.
The couple were presenting prizes at the Endeavour Fund Awards - an event celebrating the sporting and adventure achievements of wounded, sick and injured service personnel.
Meghan turned up in a Victoria Beckham pencil midi dress and the duke wore a dark blue suit, white shirt and blue tie.
There was an unexpected moment of romance when one of the award winners, Danny Holland, got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend in front of the royals.
Meghan smiled and placed her hands in the centre of her chest as Harry applauded the bold gesture.
The duke and duchess were earlier photographed outside the Goring Hotel in Westminster after a private lunch and were also at Buckingham Palace.

A spokeswoman said: "In addition to the official engagements the duke and duchess are conducting over the course of the next few days, they are also meeting privately with several of their patronages."
The couple stunned Britons in January by announcing they wanted to step back from royal duties and build a more peaceful life away from the spotlight.
They have also abandoned plans to use the "Sussex Royal" brand and are expected to spend most of their time in Canada, while maintaining a home near Windsor Castle.
They have been renting a mansion on Vancouver Island, on the country's west coast, for the past few months.
While they have been welcomed in Canada, there has been public opposition to taxpayers paying for their security.
Officials have confirmed they will end security assistance when the couple's status changes at the end of the month.
